I have a weakness for food that gets all over my face and all over my hands. The saucier, the better. So when I decided to make an Asian barbecue sauce for my fried chicken, I had to hold myself back from slowly slaughtering this saucy concoction all over my body.

Fried Chicken Asian BBQ Sauce

Simple Fried Chicken Recipe (serves 5)

Ingredients

1 whole chicken cut into small pieces

3 teaspoons salt

3 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons black pepper

1/2 cup corn starch

Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

Marinate the chicken with salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Then lightly dredge each piece of chicken into the corn starch. Dust off excess flour.

Fry the chicken in two batches for about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. For extra crispiness (highly recommended), fry again for about 2-3 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
